COLD ZERO is a powerful, insightful book, unnerving in its timeliness. A former FBI sniper, Christopher Whitcomb delves into the inner workings of the FBI, explaining them in plain language to civilian readers. Author Dini Von Mueffling spoke with Whitcomb about the recent terrorist attacks and the strain of being an agent and a father.

Martha Grimes crafts her storylines with strong characters and vivid surroundings that envelope the reader and make them a participant. Equal parts of humor and compassion underly her prose, giving it a strong voice that is reflective of the author herself. Although some have characterized her as shy, Bookreporter.com's Ann Bruns has never found that to be a stumbling block, as readers will see in this latest interview about her most recent Richard Jury novel, THE BLUE LAST.
